The defending champions will take on Niger Republic in their semi-final clash at the WAFU B U-20 Championship on Sunday night.
The Flying Eagles earned their place in the last four after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cote d’Ivoire on Thursday.
Zubairu believes that his team has the quality to beat their opponent.
“We’re going to win the match, it won’t be otherwise,” he said ahead of the game.

The winner of the game will seal a place at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
